This document is intended to help you answer any questions that you may have about XCOM 2 Collection for Android
The XCOM 2 Collection requires Android 9 or later. You will need 8.5GB of free space to install the game and all of its content, and we recommend having at least 17GB of free space to avoid installation issues.
If your device is not referenced above but you are still able to purchase XCOM 2 Collection, your device should be capable of running the game but is not officially supported.
To avoid disappointment, devices that are not capable of running XCOM 2 Collection are automatically blocked from purchasing it.
For best performance it is recommended that you restart your device after first installation, and keep other applications closed when playing.
When you first launch the game after installing, a pop-up appears asking you to download additional data. This includes:
Main game data (3.4GB – required)
Contains required game data.
Soldier voices (326MB – optional)
Contains voiced audio for soldiers in English, German, Spanish, French and Italian. You can download audio in all languages or just one. Downloading all languages gives more soldier customization options, but is not essential.
Sound effects & non-soldier voices (145MB – optional)
Contains sound effects, and voiced audio for non-soldier characters in English, German, Spanish, French and Italian, but is not essential.
You can choose to download or delete optional data at any time by following the steps below:
From the Main Menu, select Options & Support → Data Management.
From the Data Management menu, use the checkboxes to select or deselect the optional data that you wish to enable or disable. Any newly selected data will be downloaded, and any deselected data will be deleted from your device.
Tap Save & Exit. A prompt will appear confirming the changes that will take effect on next launch.
Relaunch the game.
Please Note: An active internet connection is required on relaunch after updating the game or enabling additional data.

Google Play Saved Games imposes a 3MB file size limit for all backups.
Due to the size and sophistication of Feral’s releases, save files often exceed this. We cannot support Google Play Saved Games until this limit is lifted (or significantly increased).
All Feral games use Google Drive for save backup. Google Drive can accommodate the larger files required and offers users easy access to their saves.
